Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty joined hands on the cop drama ‘Singham’ in 2011, followed by its sequel ‘Singham Returns’, which formed the precursor to what has now culminated into a cop universe, with ‘Simmba’ and ‘Sooryavanshi’ coming in. Over the previous few years, there has been continual speculation regarding the third instalment of the ‘Singham’ series, but there has been no official word on the subject.
After ‘Sooryavanshi’s massive release in cinema halls this week, sources close to the cop universe confirm that ‘Singham 3’ is the next instalment in the franchise. As per a report on Pinkvilla, “‘Singham’ was set in Goa, followed by ‘Singham Returns’ which went a notch higher with the premise being set in Mumbai.
